Matter waves (DC Broglie waves)
Question

A particle moving in the positive X direction has de Broglie wavelength λ1. Another particle also moving in the same direction has de Broglie wavelength λ2. The two particles make a collision and after the collision they move together as a single particle. The de Broglie wavelength of this single particle is given by 

Moderate
Solution

λ1 =hp1     p1 =hλ1       similarly p2= hλ2 after collision p =p1  + p2 λ =hp =λ1λ2λ1+λ2
